A chill pre-race day

This morning we had a slower start to the day. No alarm! Our first stop was some huckleberry tea and a yummy breakfast sandwich at Montana Coffee Traders. The store was super cute and had all kinds of fun gifts if you needed something. Then, we headed out to Missoula with a quick detour at the Mountain Mission Winery. We did the $5 tasting. The widens weren’t great, but not terrible. And they had a great view. A good detour to break up the driving. 







When we arrived in Missoula, we headed to James Bar and 
had sliders and sweet potato tots for lunch. Pretty good. 
Then, we walked through their cute downtown to get our packets for our race the next day. 


When we returned to our car, we went on a little brewery/cidery tour. First stop: Big Sky. Mike got a flight and I had a small strawberry mint hard seltzer. Not bad. Then, we went to Western Cider. Super cute place. I didn’t want a whole flight, so I had just a glass of their sour cherry. Pretty good. Then, we walked to Imagine Nation Brewery. This place was awesome! Mike had a really good flight and I had some non-alcoholic hop tea made with tea from the local tea shop. They also had great art on the walls and we also the bought a painting...or two. But, we didn’t have an easy way to get them home, so we left them. :( 








We checked into our sad, sad Motel 6 and then walked to the Missoula Tea Company (I could stay here all day!) and then got to Biga Pizza just as they opened and snagged the last couple of seats at the bar. Ordered a bread and spreads plate and a yummy pizza. Enjoyed chatting with the chef/owner as he made all the pizzas for the big marathon crowd. 




Then, it was a walk home, a quick trip to the laundromat, and then bedtime as we had an early race day ahead.
